# Entity Strength

## What is Entity Strength?

>**Entity Strength**measures your brand’s alignment with knowledge graphs (Wikidata, Google Knowledge Graph, Schema.org). It answers the question: “When an AI encounters your brand name, can it reliably resolve which company you are?”
> Weak Entity Strength leads to:
> • Brand confusion (“Did you mean [similar company]?”)
> • Hallucinated facts (AI invents features or pricing)
> • Inconsistent recommendations across platforms
>**Key Finding:**Brands with Entity Strength >60 experience zero entity resolution failures. Below 40, failure rate exceeds 25% (FAII data, N=500 brands).

## How Entity Strength is Calculated

Entity Strength is a composite score based on four signal categories:

| Signal | Weight | What It Measures |
| --- | --- | --- |
|**Schema.org Markup**| 30% | Organization, Product, Person schemas on your site |
|**Wikidata Presence**| 25% | Whether your brand has a Wikidata entry with correct claims |
|**NAP Consistency**| 20% | Name, Address, Phone match across directories |
|**Co-Mention Patterns**| 25% | How often you’re [mentioned alongside established entities](https://suprmind.ai/hub/methodology/semantic-neighborhood/) |**Formula:**`
 Entity Strength = (Schema × 0.30) + (Wikidata × 0.25) + (NAP × 0.20) + (Co-Mentions × 0.25)
`


## Why Entity Strength Matters

Entity Strength is the foundation for all other AI visibility metrics. Without it, everything else crumbles:

| Scenario | Weak Entity (60) |
| --- | --- | --- |
|**Brand Query**| “Did you mean [competitor]?” | Correct company identified |
|**Feature Description**| AI invents or confuses features | Accurate feature list |
|**Pricing Info**| Hallucinated or outdated pricing | Correct current pricing |
|**Recommendations**| Inconsistent across AI platforms | Consistent positioning |**The cascade effect:**Entity Strength problems compound. If an AI can’t reliably identify you, it won’t confidently cite you, recommend you, or provide accurate information about you.

## How to Improve Entity Strength

### 1. Implement Schema.org Everywhere (30% of score)

- Add `Organization` schema to your homepage with complete details
- Add `Product` or `SoftwareApplication` schema to product pages
- Add `Person` schema for founders and key team members
- Use `sameAs` to link to your official social profiles

### 2. Claim or Create Wikidata Entry (25% of score)

- Check if your company has a Wikidata entry (search at wikidata.org)
- If not, create one with basic claims: instance of, official website, founded date
- Add `sameAs` links to your Wikidata Q-number in your Schema.org

### 3. Audit NAP Consistency (20% of score)

- Check your company name, address, and contact info across: Crunchbase, LinkedIn, G2, Capterra, Google Business Profile
- Fix any inconsistencies—AIs weight consensus heavily
- Use the exact same formatting everywhere

### 4. Build Co-Mention Patterns (25% of score)

- Create “bridge phrases” in your content: “[Your Brand] integrates with [Established Tool]”
- Earn mentions alongside category leaders in third-party content
- Guest post on sites that already have strong entity recognition
